I’ve added “hypocritical” to the list of adjectives friends use to describe me. Usually squeezed into the space between “that” and “cunt”.

139 chars there.

You can now “follow” me on Twitter. I’ve really got no fucking clue why you would but I’m not above comparing my number of “followers” to other people’s and pretending I don’t care. Perhaps I could raise an army. Mainly I’ll be just be telling you what I’m doing. Stuff like “Got a sore leg. Going to the pub”. It’s going to be bollocks.

Thanks to Phil for spotting Keith, who has nothing to say but has found a creatively stupid way to say it.

How should we tackle terrorism?

We’ve gotta stand up, we’ve gotta be strong
We’ve gotta hold our nerve until the job is done
And they’ve made a killing,
They don’t care about the blood that they’re spilling

9/11, 9/11, what went down with building 7?
Ever since that fateful day
our civil rights have disappeared
A global fascist state draws near
and our freedom slips away
And they don’t give a stuff
They’ve made that clear enough
So now it’s up to us to bring ‘em down

The formatting got a bit mangled when he posted to HYS but I think I’ve recovered the original intent. I mean, I chopped it up randomly, the same way it was assembled.

In case it’s not clear what keith is getting at, he’s referring to the popular theory that a conspiracy of powerful shadowy government agents staged the 9/11 attacks in order to erode our civil liberties so that a shadowy cabal of businessmen can take over the world. Presumably because they’re tired of having to pay lobbyists to bribe politicans to run the world for them.

Thanks to Matt. toughNeilHyde isn’t putting that bloody light out.

Neil, did you know Greenpeace have organised a “National Don’t Drink the Pretty Colours under the Sink Day”? You’d better hurry, it’s tomorrow!

Thanks to Jamie and Thomas who both found this one in the debate about aggregating smaller councils into bigger councils.

Call my cynical but do these re-organisations reduce the number of Non-Labour councils and improve Labour’s position for the forthcoming local/Euro/General elections?

If it was done to purely save money and bureaucracy then I applaud it both I have read both Animal Farm and 1984.

44 councils good, 9 unitary authorities bad.
